Web-site design software as simple as iWeb, but better?

Ahh the search for the holy grail... I'm also interested in this.

 

Rapidweaver.

 

NO
NO NO NO
We don't want to be trapped in some half-assed template for our websites.

 

Try Quick n Easy Web Builder from the App Store.

 

Just switched from PC to Mac and also looking for something to use. Any other suggestions?

 

Espresso 2 or Coda 2. Rapidweaver which has already been mentioned. Non of these are iWeb but are simple to learn and use.

All you need is a domain. Web address. Hoster.

Wordpress. Free

A website of your choice for max $40 from themeforest .com

No coding. Professional website. Easy content management.

I even had a company ask me to contact him as he liked my website so much. (I'm a print graphic designer)

 

That is the best way, but that's not quite as simple as iWeb though.

The themes there are great. It's useful to have HTML/CSS knowledge if going down this route, in case the theme doesn't allow you to modify it through the front-end.

You also need knowledge of FTP, installing WordPress, creating a MySQL database for WordPress, installing the theme, etc, etc. Theme developers on ThemeForest don't help with that sort of stuff, they assume you know all that stuff already.

 

I use powweb.com as my hoster. They are very Wordpress friendly. Yes there is some learning but to be honest I have no idea what MYSLQ is and many if these other technical terms. There is a far amount of experimenting but without iWeb I wanted to see what my other options are.

The themes can be installed from the Wordpress login area.

 

I have tried them all, and concluded and decided that Joomla is the best.
